He was attempting to steal a bag from inside. Upon questioning , the suspect confessed to seven robberies, in which he would use a motorcycle to get away, in Jdeideh, Zalka, Dora and Sin al-Fil. The ISF also discovered that he had theft-related priors, and that he was released from prison less than two weeks ago. The suspect was referred to the judiciary for further investigation.
